X-Git-Tag: v2.29-core199~17^2~31

initscripts: dhcp: Tolerate running other dhcp servers

Some users have been trying to run multiple instances of the DHCP server
and restarting the main server won't work because the initscript refuses
to launch the process if there is another one with the same command.
